Whats a good storage solution for parts and tools to keep all of this growing pile organized. I have a large bin but I hate a piled mess.

I have a smallish Tool Chest I keep in our furnace room with all the tools and small parts in it. Also planing on building a small cabinet to have all the spare parts like rubbers and lights in there and will provide some counter space for my 3d printer.

Nothing too crazy, unless you have other hobby like car repairs, then get a massive Tool chest in the garage.

I'm accumulating a bunch of parts, like rubbers, led, flipper parts and paints so maybe a tool box but I'd like to separate all the parts a little to make it neat.

I buy stackable plastic drawer units from Walmart. You can get them in 5 or 3 drawer units to build on. Drawers are different sizes as well to accommodate tools vs storage. Super easy, durable, and light weight. I’m sure you can get similar from Canadian tire etc

These are useful examples, depending to size and quantity of parts. I also throw things in smaller bins and then put them in a larger bin and then next month forget where I put that thing that I need. :cool:

Here’s what I use. Bought during those crazy sales at Canadian Tire.

These ones have dividers in them:


I have a couple of those, and printed labels for each drawer so I know what's in them. I've also got bigger parts in a few boxes/bins, so I can usually find what I need.
